Stabilized Pen Blank

Stabilized wood is a composite material consisting of plastic and wood. It creates a material which looks like wood, but machines and finishes like acrylic plastic. This combination of materials has been used for years to produce knife handles and other items which were to look like wood with a high polish, yet resistant to water, oils, and most solvents. The plastic in the wood fills the cells so the composite block is relatively stable. It will practically eliminate checking or cracking due to expansion or contraction. Sanding and polishing will produce a satin, semi gloss or high gloss finish, depending on requirements. Mirror-like surfaces will require buffing with a flannel buff and a fine polish. Pen blanks are 11/16" x 11/16" x 5 1/4". (Red Palm is 11/16" x 11/16" x 4 7/8")

Note: Burl pen blanks may have small bark inclusions or natural defects inherent to burl woods.
